[This is too much. FOX News, a big supporter of the Republicans whoengaged in massive electoral fraud and voter suppression efforts, nowwants stories about people like illegal immigrants committing voterfraud. As they give an e-mail address to send stories to(mailto:voterfraud@foxnews. com ) I suggest that readers instead sendthem stories about Republican electoral fraud. and voter suppressionefforts. I recommend including the stories in the body of the e-mail,rather than just giving a link. Be sure to use a Hotmail or otherdisposable e-mail address, as they will surely spam you.--DC]

"Could illegal immigrants sway an election?' Eric Shawn of Fox Newsasked on Wednesday, raising the terrifying specter of "people who arenot even citizens voting for whomever they want."Advertisement

Since 2005, the Bush administration has been pushing the idea that"voter fraud" is a widespread problem, even firing US Attorneys who didnot make the investigation of claims of fraud a priority. However,investigations have never found more than a handful of votes being castillegally, while requiring proof of citizenship seems likely todisenfranchise hundreds of thousands of voters, mostly the poor andelderly who may not be able to secure required documentation.

Fox News has now set out to find the evidence of fraud that the BushDepartment of Justice could not, whipping up their audience with thethreat of non-citizens "getting a fake ID, a driver's license, or asocial security card and voting in this year's election."

"If you think there's voter fraud where you live, or there are otherelection problems, we at Fox News want to know about it," Shawn toldviewers. "You can email us. ... mailto:voterfraud@foxnews. com ."

Shawn's proposed remedy is "legislation that would prevent illegals andother ineligible voters from going into the voting booth," although heacknowledged sadly that "even if states do act, it may be too late forthe upcoming presidential election."
